Title: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Banger on September 29, 2022, 08:23:12 PM
A new league open to everyone.  3500 credits to the team that comes bottom of the table, The aim is to lose by whatever means necessary - A league anyone could win !

Some great games in this today although a few people didn't get the memo!

Arcadia Bay and Park My Seagull played out an impressive 13 - 13 draw, Both doing their best to get hammered
Danemark and Saiyan warriors also joined the race for The Wooden Spoon in good fashion by managing to get totally trashed.
But King Kennys Army stole the show with a massive 0-22 loss to shoot straight into the lead at the ...bottom of the table!  8)

Four teams set up as normal, annoying!

I didn’t even realise this started and set up normally, sorry.

Luckily the guy I played didn’t try to lose so it actually helped everyone that did try to lose. DANEMARK decided to lose every game by massive margins 😂😂😂😂

GG Gull!  :D

The managers who played to win today should probably carry on doing so now to avoid giving an advantage  ::)
With the exception of BALDBEAN & West Warriors as mentioned above

BALDBEAN definitely tried to win on purpose, he wants to try and get a trophy in his cabinet that bad  ;D ;D

Have a strong squad for today's fixture and fancy my chances - will accept nothing other than a heavy 20 goal defeat. Two AWOLS & a lot of players on 0 gelling  ;)

Might start sending my boys to a disco of a night time to rack up some awols, who cares about the league and private leagues anyway 🤷‍♂️

yeah I have gone for the wooden spoon in all competitions 😂

I've got to admit your results in all comps yesterday had me really laughing.
Glad you are taking this comp so seriously you thought you'd better make sure by getting hammered in all games !  ;D
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Banger on October 04, 2022, 08:38:17 PM
Arcadia Bay scored the biggest loss of the day turning up with only 8 men and getting thumped 34-0
But performance of the day has to go to The Empire Of Poo that actually set up to win the game and still lost 9-1 - That takes some doing!
 
Some good losses for Park My Seagull, Saiyan Warriors and King Kennys Army, All chalking up a good tally in the goals against column
Baldbean thought he was on track for a good loss today until KKK also turned up with only 8 men
Somehow sMAshED managed to beat Danemark 14-13 in the closest game of the day,   leaving only 3 team on 0 points
Today I found out my centre back actually makes a good striker!

Unfortunately there are a few teams still not playing by the rules but well done to all those that are. 
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Swifty on October 05, 2022, 12:15:09 AM
Great write up banger and also a great idea creating this league it’s a lot more fun than aiming to win 😂 hence the reason I started bringing the heavy losses into all other comps
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Gull on October 05, 2022, 07:21:38 PM
Wondering if Tipton is thinking why he's winning a PL after 3 games with a +74 goal difference? ;D
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Swifty on October 05, 2022, 07:49:52 PM
Goal difference is what’s separating me and king kenny at the top or should I say top! 13 goals is the difference….
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: stupac on October 05, 2022, 09:06:37 PM
Loving this league! My team is still too weak to win anything yet, so this is great  ;D

I'm coming for that bottom spot!!
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Gull on October 05, 2022, 09:19:04 PM
Nothing stopping King Kennys Army at the moment, he's world class at being awful. Need to put in a good run of losses together to keep in touch with the bottom of the pack. 8)
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Banger on October 05, 2022, 11:03:42 PM
I loving that fact that people are getting into the idea of this league.
Trying to cock your team up as much as possible brings about a new sort of pressure!
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Denmark_14 on October 06, 2022, 03:17:43 PM
Managed to lose but forgot to change my subs so all my players came on in the right position, I could have got battered today 🤦‍♂️🤬
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: RParker9 on October 06, 2022, 03:51:20 PM
I was no match for Arcadia and their 4 AWOLs. Genius planning to send them all to the pub!
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Swifty on October 06, 2022, 04:57:40 PM
And DANEMARK finally manage to find a league that works for them, sitting at the top bottom of the league feeling strong holding everyone up with a massive result for them today!

This league is so much better than fighting for 3 points every game 😂
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Walpster on October 06, 2022, 10:39:45 PM
Well done for creating this league, it seems like good fun! A shame I missed out, although I messed up on a couple of my games today so it felt like I was part of this league for a day  ;D ;D ;D

Keep it going, Il jump in this next time! I think someone should message the teams who are not taking part though, as it would make it much more fun every one trying to lose!

Great idea
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Banger on October 06, 2022, 11:03:47 PM
Next time around I will message everyone that enters to give them a proper heads up on the rules.
For this round I think its only fair if the teams not trying to lose should carry on as they are
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Gull on October 07, 2022, 10:09:07 AM
Yeah think some teams are trying to finish 1st just to hoover up the easy credits. I'd expect it from the BALDBEANS of this world but not everyone else.
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Denmark_14 on October 07, 2022, 03:24:40 PM
Ayyyy I messed up the first game and held my hands up and said sorry, since then I’ve been dropping down the league FAST 👊
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Denmark_14 on October 07, 2022, 03:26:55 PM

It’s going to be hard to catch this guy, he isn’t in a top league, so can ruin his team with no rehab every night, maybe next entries should be for teams in a x-1-1. I know that’s shitty, but it seems fair.
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Denmark_14 on October 07, 2022, 03:28:00 PM
He has clearly seen this as an opportunity for free credits, he doesn’t do friendlies or join other private leagues.
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Swifty on October 07, 2022, 03:54:03 PM
Sadly my great run has come to an end  :(
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon

Remember AWOL players do not get training benefits ;)

Grow up BALDBEAN it's just a bit of fun in this league mate, no need to get salty about it.

This is a new team. No point jumping straight into an x-1-1 and a bunch of PLs when I'm losing games that I dominate tactically due to team strength.

Disappointed to get the win today.

94 and a MOM for my MIDC playing upfront - anymore performances like this he will be transfer listed and left to rot in the reserves.

Never been as happy to see a 10 week injury to by best player. Welcome to goalkeeper duty big man, hope you're awful. 😄

Big game against Mr Gull today, tough test ending in my favour losing 19-8.
Great game Mr Gull, not often you take 3 points off me  ;) 😂

2 unlucky wins for me in the last 2 days :(
7-7 at 45mins with KKK today who obviously had a great half time team talk, producing 4 red cards in the following minute
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon

Saw that today. Was fantastic. Always knew a good crowd fight was the way to go!!

Yesterdays results were amazing.  Treated every game like the Wooden Spoon..Except The Wooden Spoon!!  ;D ;D

Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Gull on October 25, 2022, 09:51:57 AM
Arcadia Bay ran out deserved winners of The Wooden Spoon. You were consistently awful all through the campaign and may you enjoy your success.

Commiserations to Beeky Blinders, Saiyan Warriors, The Empire Poo and Tipton Tornados who occupy the bottom four spaces. Atleast you were successsful in failing to read / understand the PL description  ;)

May I request to the committee that these teams receive a lifetime ban from any other Wooden Spoons competitons, many thanks.

Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: stupac on October 27, 2022, 11:30:19 PM
Thank you. It was a hard fought campaign. The boys did as instructed and didn't bother turning up for training.

The open top bus through the streets of Arcadia Bay was the highlight of the year!

When are we restarting. Been my favourite one of the year
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Banger on November 05, 2022, 11:30:25 PM
I will get this started again as soon as the new season starts.
I'm going to leave it with password this time so people can only enter if they play by the rules... No winners in here please! Us losers only  ;D

I must admit I never actually gave Stupac the 3500 credits promised so I'll get that done ASAP
Its a shame we can't get the official prize pot moved to the bottom teams.
Obviously as it stands the teams that finish top win the credits.  So this time I'll ask the teams that finished 1st and 2nd to move the credits to the rightful winners / losers at the bottom of the table

Good luck everyone - Let the losing begin  8)
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Banger on November 05, 2022, 11:39:27 PM
Either message me for password or leave your name here and I'll send it over once I've told you how to lose in style  ;D

It would be nice if it could be arranged but I'm not holding my breath.
I did message him about getting your credits sent over from the last one.
Please let me know if you receive them Stupac

A couple of great games in The Wooden Spoon today-

Newcastle legends   16 - 13    Rekrap CF   
Arcadia Bay   17 - 24    King Kennys Army

Well done to all those sticking to the rules of this comp :)
Swifty - 2 wins out of 2.. I expect you to get royally hammered tomorrow!
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Swifty on November 21, 2022, 08:17:21 PM
Not happy I accidentally set my tactics to win the game without realising what game it was 🤦🏻‍♂️ Tomorrow I will probably set all games to lose like I did last season 😂
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Marv999 on November 21, 2022, 08:52:30 PM
Really annoyed that I've managed to scrape 2 wins in this so far  ;D

Hopefully I can grab a loss tomorrow to get me started. Losing is harder than it seems... even with 1 season old players lol
Title: Re: The Wooden Spoon
Post by: Swifty on December 03, 2022, 03:16:45 PM
I came second in the league and received 1000 credits…. This was not the aim of the game so I would like to donate my winnings to the real winner Newcastle Legends.
If this is possible how do I go about it?
I’m pretty sure the Baldman will do the same!

I was doing great losing my games for the most of this comp, Then put a very poor run together winning my last 3 games :(

A total of 1371 goals scored with around 40 legs broken across the comp - Kept A+E busy for a while

I won my first 2 games and then lost 11 of the last 12 to just scrape the overall bottom spot. Was a great comp and well definitely enter the legends again if a 3rd rendition was to be made

Both Baldman and myself have had a chat with Kush about the transfer of credits, I’m sure this is all
In progress 👍🏻
